I'm confused. It sounds like he _wants_ Danzo in charge of Konoha. If so, I'm not sure why - I'm pretty sure the only good Danzo is an immediately dead one.

savitar

Thanks for the chapter. The ninja world going to shit is going to be funny, no less than what most of them deserve. I wonder if Kazuya could recruit the Senju and also bring back the Senju who were thought to be dead? First, it screws Konoha, and second, it helps preserve the Senju. Maybe he could send them along with the Uzumaki, if that's the case. Although, well, the Uchiha are also screwed. With Danzo as Hokage? Yeah, the village is going to have a really bad time.

Raymond

Danzo is a Warhawk who wants to control everything the main character probably wants danzo to basically destroy the hidden leaf village from the inside. The will of fire clashing with his world view. Also he will probably anger other villages.

Adam Daw

Yeah I guess if you want to completely destroy the value and stability of Konoha then letting Danzo run it is a good way to do it. I only hope that he can pull the Senju out before they get destroyed.

Orchamus

Danzo gonna Danzo😮‍💨 But Kazuya giving him what he wants works out in helping him dig Konoha's grave, hopefully he can snatch Tsunade and the Senju and either send them to the Uzumaki or bring them in to LoF.

Aaron Hardin

Danzo will weaken Konoha in the long run, as he will both purge elements he feels is undesirable , and his training methods also both kill off some trainees and are good at producing chunin ninja quickly, but don’t do as well at producing stronger ninja. Throw in the constant action against other countries not giving time for Konoha to recover and strengthen forces properly, and his actions making other nations more wary of Konoha (and less able to focus on his land) and Danzo being Kage is a long term move to weaken Konoha and to a lesser extent the other major ninja villages.

Nazarickk

Thanks for the chapter

Ototsu_Yume

Every action no matter how small that Danzo takes ends up biting him and Konoha on the ass eventually, making him the leader of Konoha is a pretty good way to speedrun his demise or their destruction if he lives long enough. I'm rather concerned about that Rinnegan floating about though, the Senju are also being pushed into aligning with the Land of Flowers, hopefully MC sends someone to have a chat with Tsunade, a run down on what NE/ROOT is planning would get her to act before the rest of the Senju are wiped out, hopefully there will be more than just her and MC's wife alive by then.

Amazing, your making Kazuya destroy konoha from inside, by recomending someone like Danzo as Hokage early on the timeline, an uchiha massacre is inminent, there wont be any Itachi o Sasuke in this world, also with kushina in another continent not even naruto, this is the worst posible scenario for the Sage of sixth paths jajajaja

Armand Sellier

As Hokage Danzo will do something stupid ( like always). It will give the land of flowers casus beli and allows Kazuya to destroy Konoha without bad rep.

crashdash

Even if he has a Rinnegan Eye Danzo will barely be able to use it as the eye without a compatible host like a Uchiha or a Uzumaki due to their respective ancestry will be unable to use it without immense chakra exhaustion like with Kakashi and his sharingan he got from Obito in canon.

Falsic

Just remember… Obito could only use 1 eye even with hashirama cells covering half his body and being an uchiha. Danzo wouldn’t be capable of the same. You also need to consider the weakening of that single eye. Nagato had both eyes. The rinnegan require both eyes to achieve maximum effect.

Holosagewolf

the moment danzo finds about kazuya's uzumaki wives he will attempt to kidnap them. and as hokage that will mean war

KingSpy25i

Well, that's if Kazuya let's him find out before he thinks that the Land of Flowers is ready for conflict.

KingSpy25i

Thank you for the amazing chapter 🙏

Enthessi

The fact that Danzo has a high chance of actually becoming Hokage is hilarious. Worst timeline indeed. I wonder if Danzo will find out that he was the recommended by the Land of Flowers as Hokage and if he’ll be thankful of paranoid because of it.

savitar

Danzo will still have to deal with Kumo, who will be after him for supposedly kidnapping the hachibi. Not to mention Orochimaru and his current grudge against Konoha and Danzo (if he survived and managed to escape, obviously).

Holosagewolf

Im kind of hoping orochi doesnt follow cannon route defects to lof and becomes in charge of tech development (in a non psycho way)

AwkwardArithmancer

I hope the senju get hired by the Land of Flowers. Including Tsunade to be a public face of medicine development

KingSpy25i

Danzo truly knows how to fuck up everything around him (most of the time) without even trying.

AwkwardArithmancer

Danzo as hokage would likely cause a Konha civil war. Especially since there are probably some hidden Mangrkyo users among the uchiha so extermination would not work. This might be a setup for a uchiha waifu so he can get the bloodline.

Meruem Astro

whats the next fic to be updated?

Deathknight134

I hope Kazuya manages to recruit the Uchiha and Senju for his own Ninja Village. Taking them from Konoha would be frickin' great~

Draco Rivendare

there is also the ones who tobirama hid away

Ototsu_Yume

I meant the Konoha Senju which are part of the Senju Clan, the ones in hiding are not clan members or retain their Senju names; I doubt many if any are even aware that they were part of a clan at this point, similar to Naruto's ignorance over the Uzumaki despite everyone even a couple years older than him knowing all about them and the meaning of the swirl on his back.

Orchamus

That'd help with his problem in getting someone to help Rose with the medical program too, as well as make the Uzumaki and Kasumi happy. The Senju would be happy to know what Tobirama did to hide their bloodline too.

Bored Peasant's Written Works

How old is Tsunade in this story? Are you having her as a possible recruit for MC? Or another wife once she finds out that the Uzumaki are still alive?

Ranma_Leopard

As always this is just really awesome and I can't wait for more!!
